I just read the Firearms News story about more crap from VPC, then went and read the VPC release. To quote it:

Washington, DC—Children and youth are murdered with handguns more often than with all other weapons combined, according to a new 27-page study released today by the Violence Policy Center (VPC). Kids in the Line of Fire: Children, Handguns, and Homicide is a first-time analysis of handgun murders of children up to age 17. The study analyzes unpublished Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) homicide data for the five-year period 1995 through 1999—the most recent data available.

My question is, how does one obtain "unpublished Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) homicide data"? Or any other type of unpublished data from the FBI-- anybody know?
